       FWIW, In Microsoft Word 2000, when you type a period in the
       midst of a digit sequence (so that it is to be the decimal
       separator), it is *stored* in the document as U+002E, but how
       it is *rendered* (on screen or printer) depends on a Word
       setting that controls digit display. If the user sets the
       control so the digits are displayed using U+0030 and following,
       then the period is rendered using U+002E. Conversely, if the
       user sets the control so that the digits are displayed using
       U+0660 and following, then the period appears to be rendered as
       U+066B.

       Thus it isn't necessary for U+066B to be present in the
       codepage.
